"Some of the people classified as being homeless do eventually find
housing...but need to begin putting their lives together again.

It's
called "Essentially Yours"...and its goal is to provide the essentials
to people who need to get started with their lives...and their
homes...again.

The program is one component of the voices in the streets project, offered through the Voices of Triumph Gospel Choir.

It's starting out with the Parkersburg area...but its goal is to serve the entire Mid-Ohio Valley".

"We identified it as a need for essential home goods items, items
that, when a person is able to move into a dwelling, they don't have,"
says organization president Dorothy Dicks. "Things such as pots, pans,
forks to eat with, glasses to drink out of. And that's why we came up
with the Essentially Yours program."

"Essentially
Yours" is being headquartered in the Parkersburg Salvation Army on 5th
street...and is scheduled to begin business in May.
